84 JOURNAL OF A TRIP TO PAHANG. 
and a few specimens of the Eastern pied robin (Copsychus 
musicus). 1 heard some hornbills flying overhead, but could 
not see them, and so could not determine the species. I saw 
alsoa few pigeons, but could not obtain a shot. I only actually 
procured two specimens of the red-headed tailor-bird (Sutorzus 
ruficeps), and two specimens of the common Malayan sun- 
bird (Cznyrzs malaccensts). ‘These latter were moulting and 
not fit for preserving. 
Of mammals, I obtained one specimen of the common 
squirell (Sczwrus atrodorsalts), and I saw a few small bats, 
which I failed to obtain. : 
I did not see any reptiles, and of insects the best thing I 
got was about a dozen specimens ofa Caddis-fly (Zrichoptera 
sp.?). These I obtained over a small stream that came down 
behind the village. The butterflies I observed were the com- 
mon species of Singapore, the most common being Pafgilio 
polytes and Danats vulgaris. Ofthese, I obtained specimens, 
as well as a few small blues belonging to the Lycenediez. 
In the stump of an old coco-nut tree examined by Mr. 
RIDLEY we obtained one perfect specimen of the coco-nut ° 
weevil (/thyacophilus ferrugeneus), and a number of its co- 
coons, and afew cockroaches. Mr. RIDLEY, also obtained for 
me, from a stream up which he worked, some specimens of a 
small fresh-water shrimp. 
Flying about over the sea I noticed a number of terns- 
(Sterna melananchen), a few gulls, probably the laughing 
gull (Xena ridibunda), and a noddy (Anous stolidus). 
Soon after getting on board we commenced to steam along 
the western side of the island, keeping close inshore. The 
appearance of the island was much the same throughout, 
being heavily wooded, with indications of existing or aban- 
doned kampongs. 
We arrived off Kwala Pahang in the afternoon, and went 
ashore soon after, and met Mr. RODGER and Mr. WISE. 
Almost as soon as we landed, a drizzling rain set in, which 
continued more or less the whole time we were ashore, so 
that it was almest impossible to obtain any specimens. All 
I obtained was one tailor-bird and one edible-nest swiftlet
